Mohamed, Mustafa M.; Paoletti, Teo; Vishnubhotla, Madhavi; Greenstein, Steven; Lim, Su San – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
We describe how we supported middle-school students developing meanings for quadratic growth by bringing together three theoretical framings and designing a task sequence grounded in that framework. Specifically, this framework was assembled from the research on students' quantitative and covariational reasoning, Realistic Mathematics Education,…

Jacinto, Hélia; Carreira, Susana – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
This study aims at understanding the role of the tools chosen throughout the processes of solving a non-routine mathematical problem and communicating its solution. In assuming that problem-solving is a synchronous activity of mathematization and expression of mathematical thinking we take our proposed Mathematical Problem Solving with Technology…

Paoletti, Teo; Corven, Julien; Gantt, Allison – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
Emergent graphical shape thinking (Moore & Thompson, 2015) is a way of reasoning that is critical across numerous STEM fields. However, evidence indicates that the underlying component ideas for emergent thinking are underdeveloped in school mathematics education (e.g., Thompson & Carlson, 2017), and few studies directly report on…
